Continuing with its commitment to the people of the country to provide technology commensurate with international standards, JAINHITS has announced that it has successfully attained the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for its set-top boxes. This certification is in line with the DeitY’s (Department of Electronics and Information Technology) recent mandate on compliance of all imported as well as locally manufactured products electronic goods across 15 categories to comply with BIS’ quality benchmarks.
Devinder Singh, Head- Regulatory & Corporate Affairs, Noida Software Technology Park said, "Any Certification by itself is a tedious and time taking process. Where the aspect of human safety is required it becomes all the more tedious. It not only involves monetary expenditure at various stages, but also requires time and extensive documentation, testing both in-house & various International Certification agencies like "CE", "UL" etc. The equipments presently requiring BIS certification for import or manufacturing in India need to be tested by Govt. recognized laboratories for meeting all standards including safety and transmission. Besides BIS certified, our subscribers would get to choose from SD and HD quality, MPEG4 STBs."
The ruling has been brought into effect owing to the increasing demand for electronic goods in India and includes product ranges from set-top box laptops to tablets, and TV sets to microwave ovens. With this outline, all such products will need to be BIS-compliant for sale, manufacture or importing in the country.
